Retaining Ethics Rule And A Diversity

1. Shaw and Barry distinguish two different forms of utilitarianism. What are these two forms? Briefly describe each and use examples.

In learning unit 1 I was educated about Ethics, Politics, and Diversity. This unit discussed whether or not actions are ethical. Ethics is a moral standard of right and wrong. For example, one time I noticed someone cheating on an exam and I didn’t know if it was right or not to let my substitute teacher know that the student was cheating. I didn’t want to be called names if the cheater found out. So, I messaged my dad and asked for his advice whether or not I should tell. My dad told me that I should leave it alone unless I was certain that the student was cheating. Therefore, I didn’t let my teacher know. This furthered my knowledge by applying ethics to this situation because now I know that personal values and morals impact my ethical behavior. If I didn’t have strong personal values and morals then I wouldn’t of cared if the student cheated or not. Furthermore, attitude in learning unit 1 changed my perspective on situations. For example, I value scrapbooking and scrapbooking costs a lot of money for all the materials

The story happens in 1961. This is the post war period when the market is prospering at the time. New ideas, such as dressing freely comes up as the economy grows. A&P is in a small town located in northern Boston, far away from the big cities. People there are not ready for the changes in the way people dress openly and in mindsets. People’s values in Sammy’s community are conformed. As Sammy points out that: “we’re right in the middle of town, and the women generally put on a shirt or shorts or something before they get out of the car in to the street.” Women in this town should not wear revealing costumes to public places. This is not only people’s values, but their policy. When three girls dressing in bathing suits show up in A&P, they get condemned by the manager Lengel. Lengle, the lower class in society, is the representation for conservative in the town. As a manager, he supposes to put customers’ need in the first place. However, he puts his personal value above business’s principle. He reprimands Queenie that: “We want you decently dressed when you come in here” (749). “It’s our policy” (749). It is obvious that people are under strict supervision in this town. They are not allowed to dress what they want, but should follow the town’s dressing standard. Therefore, Updike creates a conserved setting that helps to reinforce the theme of conformity versus personal

The setting of this story is in an era where women's rights were not privileged in different areas. In this story, the store had a policy on women coming in modestly clothed. The issue is Lengel the manager would not allow the girls to explain themselves instead he comes rather harsh at them. The reason why the girls came to the store was to pick up a few items, but they were already on their way to the beach. Lengel could have a reason better with them, at least let the girls explain themselves, considering it is summertime, and there is no school. Lengel could have to ask Sammy to explain to the girls. This is discrimination of the fact that these girls are not ugly, Sammy thought each one was attractive in a way. Lengel is unfair and possibly biased of woman that come in the store

What exactly does the term “ethics” mean? When asking this question among several different groups of people, I’m sure all of their answers would be different in many ways, but would all draw the general theme that ethics is somewhat of a study of what is right and what is wrong. This is a mostly correct conclusion, except for the fact that it encompasses not only determining what is right and wrong, but attempting to systemize and defend those ethical positions which one holds. Almost all of the controversial headlines you see in the media today involve some sort of question of ethics. Abortion. Healthcare. (“Should we take money from the rich and give to the poor to pay for medical expenses?”) Gun laws. Euthanasia, etc. The topic I want

When “three girls in nothing but bathing suits” enter a supermarket's cold, “checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor,” it becomes an incident that neglects the rules according to the stern manager, Lengel (Updike 386). Since small-town areas such as the supermarket in John Updike’s short story “The A & P,” common etiquette regarding modest apparel in a store forces employees to strictly correct those who’ve ignored them. Although the girls in bathing suits weren’t making a scene or diverting attention toward them with intent or obstructing the peace of the public, some, for this instance, Lengel, would argue their actions deserve a punishment specifically public shaming. Sammy is the differing opinion the deconstructs the hostile environment and provides a vivid description of his surroundings, thus, allowing the reader to experience the act of courage first-hand. Updike uses point of view to illustrate that any person can become a hero by defending the mistreated ultimately the action becomes an unexpected fight for justice.

In a continuing attempt to reveal this societal conflict, Updike introduces the character of Lengel, the manager. He accosts the girls and starts to make a scene accusing them of being indecent: “‘Girls, I don’t want to argue with you. After this come in here with your shoulders covered. It’s our policy.’ He turns his back. That’s policy for you. Policy is what the kingpins want. What others want is juvenile delinquency” (Updike, 600). When the store manager confronts three girls in swimsuits because of their indecency (lack of proper clothes), they are forced to leave humiliated. At this moment Sammy makes the choice to quit his job in protest of the manager’s handling of the situation. In his mind, and arguably in John Updike’s mind, the standards of walking into a grocery store in a bathing suit and humiliating someone in front of other people are both unacceptable. This part of the story is pivotal for one main reason: a voice in the business community is speaking. As a manager at A & P, Lengel is the voice of The Establishment and guards the community ethics (Porter, 321). Queenie’s (the ringleader of the girls) blush is what moves Sammy to action. Here are three girls who came in from the beach to purchase only one thing, and this kingpin is embarrassing them in order to maintain an aura of morality, decency,

The dilemma/ethical issue that arises out of this case is in the hands of Jill Lassiter. She is the newly appointed executive director of a charity dedicated to helping single mothers called Good Works for Women. She must get the financial statements in order so that they satisfy Ms. Lyndelle Oakes, the organization’s largest donor. Jill must decide whether to restate her budget using faulty estimates or to be honest about the organization’s difficulties and face losing a crucial donation.

Psychologists are expected to perform their duties ethically to culturally diverse clients. It is essential to remain culturally sensitive and at times psychologists have been questioned regarding how culturally sensitive they are. This is also mandated by ethics codes like the American Psychological Association. Using the APA Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of Conduct, I will review what I believe is culturally biased and culturally encapsulated. I will review one or more of the existing ethical codes and discuss the limitations of this code(s) for multicultural professional practice. Next I will see if there is

Sammy is a nineteen year old employee who works at a grocery store A&P. He notices three girls that have arrived wearing swimsuits and describes the three girls appearance. When ringing up the single item the girls plan to buy, his manager questions if this clothing is appropriate for the store. The manager then directly states to them, “Girls, this isn’t the beach.” Sammy believes that his argument is unnecessary and makes the decision to quit his job as a heroic act to express his point that shaming customers for their attire should not be appropriate to do while working. Although he has done what he thinks is right, he sacrificed having his job trying to prove his point. The main character in this story is Sammy, he was against the conflict and fought for what he believed.

This article brings the topic of discrimination to light especially for women. The unfair treatment that women face every day in the workplace is one of the crippling factors to our society. In the workplace

We should all be viewed as human beings first before race, religion, gender, or social class. In the essay, “I’m a server, not a sex toy the author gives the readers an insight on how women are treated in work place, and how they are supposed to act when approached unfairly. If I were working at a bar and a gentleman approached me and tried to hit on me as I am making his drink, I would feel ashamed/ disgusted and make him feel just as bad. Although some people might add that she has a choice as far as where she wants to work or, maybe she could just find another job. Not everyone has that option and no one, not me, not you or anyone else for that matters, deserves to be treated in such an untasteful, degrading

Since my journey here at Bryant began in September, I have changed so much. Coming here, I expected certain things such as my study habits, daily routine and friend group to be altered. One change I was not anticipating making was my approach to ethics. Over the course of the past fifteen weeks, my knowledge of ethics as well as my approach to ethics has changed. I have become more knowledgeable about the different approaches to ethics and have gained insight as to where I stand in my approach to ethics.

"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).
